Football Results

The match can bring a milestone for both teams but they are in a completely different situation. For HSV, this is probably the last chance to get involved in the fight for survival, because they are now in a major backlog and are in the penultimate place. Hertha is much closer to the middle of the table, but if they lose, they will have to think more about survival while if they win, they will be able to qualify for Europa League. HSV has not celebrated for a long time, and the unresolved results are very rare. Hertha is four rounds without a win and in the first part of the season they defeated HSV with 2-1

Hamburger SV

HSV was never eliminated from the elite rank of the competition, but they probably will this season. In the previous seasons, they have somehow managed to save themselves and even in dramatic finals and playoffs for survival, however, the situation is almost hopeless given that they have seven points less than the safe zone. There are not many matches till the end, and it is logical that their rivals will win points, so the situation is even harder, but the biggest problem for HSV is that they are in a desperate form and cannot win any rival since the end of November.

They have played 13 games and have only a few draws, while they changed more coaches than the wins they have. Last one to leave was Hollerbach after a debacle of 6-0 in the last round in Munich and now they will led by Christian Titz, who will surely make a number of changes in the starting lineup.

Probable lineups Hamburger SV: Pollersbeck – Diekmeier, K.Papadopoulos, van Drongelen, D.Santos – G.Sakai, Walace – Waldschmidt, Hunt, Kostic – Arp

Hertha BSC

Hertha does not play well, but it is not as pronounced as with their hosts, which is shown by points, but Hertha has only celebrated once in the second part of the championship, in Leverkusen. They have played even five draws, and that keeps them at solid seven points above the relegation zone, with the proviso that their European positions are further and this is perhaps the last chance to get involved in that fight. They are four rounds without a triumph, and it is even more devastating to know that they did not score any goals in those four rounds.

They can boast that they played 0-0 with Bayern, and they recorded the same result in their field in the last round against Freiburg. They lost to Mainz and Schalke and it can be said that they are playing even better. Coach Dardai changes the starting lineup, but not too much and Leckie and Selke were on the bench against Freiburg, while Meier and Ibisevic played. Now Darida could be in the team instead of Kalou, while the other changes are also possible, espcially in the midfield and attack.

Probable lineups Hertha BSC: Jarstein – Pekarik, Stark, Rekik, Plattenhardt – Maier, Lustenberger – Weiser, Darida, Lazaro – Selke(Ibisevic)

Verdict:

Both teams are in a bad shape and are struggling with scoring goals, but this is a duel that can mean a milestone, and therefore we expect that both teams will play more offensive and for the win, which will bring goals in both networks.

Pick:  both teams to score 2.15 - 115/100 @1XBet
